Just an Average Joe...

Who cares? Honestly! Its their company, and their games... they make what they enjoy making and what they know, and what they know will SELL, because we all love the Haloverse too... Like Christ, just get over it. There are plenty of other games out there to play if you're sick of Halo games.

Microsoft pays Bungie a lot of money when it comes to Halo. Why would/should they give it up?

After all, as long as the games are good and original, is there really a problem?

Don't get me wrong guys, I'm a HUGE halo fan. I play halo and it is THE title that got me into console gaming. Halo has always been really fun for me, especially the multiplayer. Whether it is playing with friends or playing competitively online, halo has been great. Also, I'm not going to lie, I was truly excited when they announced Halo: Reach at e3, HOWEVER, now that I think about it, Bungie needs to do something more. True, the books have been out, and the story has already molded for Halo: Reach, but now I think Halo needs to end. Since halo 3 was a GREAT game in my opinion, I can't see it being topped by another halo game except maybe graphic wise due to the growth of computer technology. SADLY, I think halo has to stop. It hurts for me to even say it. I think bungie really shouldn't develop Halo: Reach, bungie should use their AMAZING TALENT to develop a whole new other sci-fi shooter. Since the halo series have developed a whole lot, ending it with halo 3 would be ideal. Since the community is already expecting SO much out of Halo: Reach, maybe the Halo series would end with a horrible game and be remembered that way. Keep halo the way it is. Use your time and human resources to develop a whole new story.
Microsoft will still make more. We should keep Bungie on it to keep it good. Also, remember, AI improvements. Think, Elites that live up to their name, Hunters who don't mindlessly charge, and think. ODSTs with the AI intelligence of L4D AI.

~~~you think freedom is free? its not... the military pays for that.~~~

well yeah if they keep making them all pretty much the same then yeah they'll get boring. but if you change it up and show the halo universe from different perspectives, then it can continue to be a fun series. take call of duty for example. they have like 8 or so games out already and i still love playing all of them.

Please take into concederation the fact that you have not been playing halo since the begining.

I've been playing Halo since it first came out. I am glad that they arebringing out another Halo game but I agree that I would ike them to create a new game so then, when Bungie is set to announce a new release people aren't always going to be expecting another Halo game but could be pleasantly suprised if it does happen.

So, what do you guys think about this? In my opinion bungie needs to go out and create a new game. Now please before all you guys that come in here and flame me about how "halo is freash" "it never gets old" Please take into concederation the fact that you have not been playing halo since the begining. Now when I heard this announcement at e3 I said wow thats nice we get another new halo! Then i began to think about how boring and old this title is getting. If Bungie does not get off this Milk train soon we will end up getting halo 17 reach rise of the covinant aerosmith. And I know we dont want this to happen. I also remember reading somewhere that bungie said that halo 3 was there last halo game. And hell, Were getting 2 more... So I know this is probably going to get locked and all but before it does i would like to hear your guys say your opinion. PLEASE DONT POST IF YOU ARE JUST TRYING TO WORSHIP THE BUNGIE PPL.

Nice wall of text...

and i think a Marathon Sequel or Prequel would be tight.

Correction: Last Halo game within that story arc which happens to be... the story of The Ark and Installations.

Yes, I would have thought they were bored with it by now. Ten years on one franchise.....

I have been playing this game since the beginning, and it truly is "fresh" as you call it. Ten years into the franchise and it is still pulling strong. Halo isn't just a trilogy anymore. It's the household "classic" for XBOX owners. Nintendo has Mario, Playstation has Final Fantasy, and Microsoft has Halo. It's the kind of franchise that shouldn't end, because it's fictional universe has a lot of untold stories that would make great games. When they start thinking about Halo Soccer Party, then the franchise will have run its course.

Besides, Bungie is already working on a new IP anyway. We just have to be patient.


By calling Final Fantasy Sony's Mario you have invalidated every post you will ever make

true, because FF is now M$'s other Halo

In all reality saying that BUNGIE is milking the Halo series is like saying Square Enix is milking the Final Fantasy series. I mean what they are on like Final Fantasy 14???? I stopped playing after FF 4. To be honest as long as there is a fan-base (which Halo has a HUGE one) they'll keep creating the game with the title. I enjoy Halo and not for it MP aspects, all the little whining Halo babies get in my head after awhile and I get bored but the story line for me is still there and I enjoy following it. I am not Super excited for the new Halo because only god knows if Ill be here to play it (Army Soldier here HOOAH!), but I must say I like that we get a prequel to the series. I want to see more Spartans bashing faces, I wanna feel the rush of cutting down that last Elite Honor Guard with the last 3 shots in my mag. That is what bring me back to this, the Intense gameplay. Although nothing can beat the classic Hermit, camping in a friends basement playing Halo CE for 11 hours straight one match with 15 flag caps on Blood Gulch....god bless the good ole days. -END FLAME

Some people genuinely think the story of the Halo universe is perfect.
You've got couragous, super human heroes with a wild side, awesomely cunning people <Dr Halsey>, massive space battles, advanced tech, etc.

DO WORK.

if 1+1=2, then are muffins better than pancakes?

Bungie can doh waht teh want

Also, bungie never said no more halo games! they said no games after halo 3. Chronologically, of course. Halo is great. You ask for no more halo games, but COD has run on about the same game engine and made it through 5 games going on six. Halo can manage at least one more.

The last time I tried to make a quote, a car smashed through my wall and the tire hit my grandmother in the other room. But for those of you who can haz once more between five, I say it will be five between seven divided by zero multiplied by Chick Norass and Broce Tee.

I think they need a new genre of gameplay. The whole futuristic thing is cool and all, but what about making a game about the times we live in now?

  • 06.10.2009 8:43 AM PDT

I dont think they have gone too far, the halo universe is great if they made somthing new it wouldnt be as good because its the first but the community has seen what bungie can do with the halo universe so i think they should keep making halo games i know i would buy them.

  • 06.10.2009 9:28 AM PDT

That one guy

Posted by: Serpent of Fire
Bungie will only have gone too far when we get Super Halo Kart, Halo Golf, Halo Tennis, Dr. Master Chief, Paper Halo, and multiple remakes of Halo 1.


i must admit that would be pretty awesome
lol, just kidding

  • 06.10.2009 9:42 AM PDT

I think there's more of an appreciation for Halo: Reach is you've actually taken the time to read the books. IF (note that I said if, don't kill me) Halo: Reach is based on the book, Fall of Reach, that's completely awesome because I think, beyond the prestige that Halo has as a multiplayer game, it has one of the most kick ass sci-fi stories I've heard in a long while. I am very excited to see Bungie exploring secular ideas in the Halo universe (by secular, I mean apart from Master Chief) such as Halo: Reach and even the storyline in ODST, because I really liked Mombassa's concept (inner city fighting and such).

this is for everybody.Think of Halo in terms of the Star Wars franchise.There were the first 3 movies IV, V, and VI, then many different companies came along and made variations like rogue squadron and the empire strikes back pc game.not to mention the plethora of books and prequals.all discussing and exploring a very different yet still relevant to the movie universe.Its not that different from what Bungie is doing.Books and vg spinoffs are all part of a fascination with a universe that is not ready to die.heck, they probably got the idea from George Lucas.SO, enjoy it while it lasts and if you dont want to, then dont play.course im hoping that these games are all as good as the others and am looking forward to playing them but think also that some of the star wars games or books were not as good as others but thats what happens when you try something different.Some you win and some you dont(Halo Wars)

i disagree i love this game not because of the mutiplayer the mindless killing throwing a plasma grenade at some one watching them running around yelling HELP!!! moments before their iminent death but because bungie started off with a huge universe which none of us really understand because bungie are still making it up but because it is so large and vast amounts remain unknown they have been slowly filling in the jigsaw peices i believe that this game will be finished when the original questions are answered

who are the forerunners?
what does master cheif look like?
is this the end of humanity?
